Lady and the Tramp

I first saw the Lady Eleanor shawl on Fig and Plum’s web site. The colors in the shawl were beautiful, especially against the backdrop of a city in winter. I knew that I had to take the time to knit one as well.

My first foray into entrelac was knitting the Kaleidoscope scarf as a present for my aunt. The recommended yarn was Noro Silk Garden in a now discontinued colorway in various shades of the rainbow. I enjoyed the feel of the yarn along with the variation of thick and thin. Every now and then a totally foreign object would crop up, a bother to some, an unexpected surprise for me.I chose Noro for its rustic appeal and the chance to knit with this yarn once more. Unfortunately as the project grew in size, the portability decreased and so did the time that I spent working on it. Ravelry really makes me aware of how long it takes me to finish a project. I was determined to finish this scarf and take it with me to SAFF in Ashville. I hope that the weather will be cooperative so that I can wear it.

Lexie, my lovely model, agreed to show off the shawl. She is our newest addition to the cabinet shop. Lexie was a rescue from our local ASPCA, a mixture of Golden Retriever and Great Pyrenees, and is all of 7 months old. She is the most docile dog that I’ve encountered in quite a while and let me pose her outdoors in the 80 degree weather. Thanks, Lexie. You’re a trooper!
